3 4 GENERAL IRON (P429) M L Yeung CP/TT Got off with field, ridden along to hold midfield position one-away from fence. Shaken up top of straight, shifted out 250m to obtain clear running, finished strongly.
4 3 BRILLIANT PROPOSAL (N392) D Whyte B Made to work from an outside draw, racing three-wide outside early leader before hitting the front and crossing to rail 600m. Kicked clear 400m, looked top chance 200m, swamped on line to miss a placing.
5 12 SHADOWFAXE (P381) J Moreira E/TT Pressed forward to lead on settling but badgered by four other runners. Eased one-back, one-out around turn, urged forward again in straight to be 2nd at 200m when one-paced. Found to have blood in trachea.
6 5 GROOVY (CL401) W M Lai -- Not much speed, taken to rear along fence. Improved position around turn, switched out in straight and kept on steadily to be closest at finish.
